Featured Creature: Devil's Square, Scratch

Excerpt from Liam Hofstadter's report for the Department of Extranormal Phenomena (DEP), Superhuman and Supernatural Threats in the New Millennium:

"Of the super villain quartet known as the Devil's Square, the pygmy creature Scratch is considered the most physically dangerous. Often seen collared and escorted on a chain by his group, this creature's numerous escapes give clear reason for his restraint. Despite his small stature, Scratch is lethally violent and has caused hundreds of casualties during his few encounters with humans.

At this time, Scratch's species is unknown. He was initially considered to be a mutated human, but the few survivors of his attacks tell stories of the cruel and inhuman glee he takes in his violence. This department has collected detailed histories on all other members of the Devil's Square, but has been unable to find any information on the origin or history of this creature before his time with the Square. It has been considered that he may be a low ranking Hell demon.
However, no history or demonic seal has as yet been discovered for him.Although he has shown a resistance to physical harm and advanced healing capabilities, it is this department's recommendation that the creature known as Scratch be shot on sight. Should firearms be found ineffective, it is this department's strong recommendation that any and all countermeasures be made available to stop this creature before he kills again. The families of his innumerable victims will thank you."

What are you afraid of?

Zombie bites are bite marks indicating that you have been infected by the undead. Zombie bites are indicators that you will soon join the living dead and seek out the flesh of the living. It only takes one bite. I'm not telling you anything new though. If you're here, you've probably already been bitten.

This blog is filled with my bites, the chunks of fear that lurk within me given the form of fiction, drawings, digital manipulations, paintings, and any other medium that allows me to get the beasties out of my head. I hope you find something here that you like, dislike, fear, something that makes you unsettled, disturbed, scared, or gives you that involuntary shiver, something that you'll carry with you when you leave. If you have a lingering fear, or a pernicious dark thought, or better yet a nightmare, my job here is done.

I also want you to return, to look again into the dark with me and find out what scares you most. It's easier when you're not alone. Come with me into the dark. It's only shadows. And when we're done you can always turn the light back on, right? What are you afraid of?
